This book delves into the lived experiences of queer and trans Jewish
people living in so-called Australia. The volume weaves interviews,
personal stories, and political analysis together to form a work which
explores how queerness, transness, and Jewishness interplay in the
context of living in the modern-day colony. Through discussions of
Zionism, queer liberation, and community-making, the book provides
insight into the historical and contemporary relationships queer and
trans Jews have to ourselves, each other, the nation-state, and the
world. In typical Jewish fashion, Zipporah is less about answers than
it is about questions: how do we live a Jewish life queerly or a queer
life Jewishly? What role do queer and trans Jews play in the tapestry
of personal, national, and international politics? And perhaps most
importantly, what can queer and trans Jewish experiences in Australia
tell us about how we move forward in solidarity with our own
communities and those who share in our struggles?
